    Because describing it that way is a dog whistle. As another has pointed out, if it was really about mental illness why does an untrained/non-medical parent have any input on the policy?

      Not everything is a dog whistle and not every policy input needs to be restricted to those with specific expertise. I have no mental health training, so I shouldn’t be making frontline decisions, but that doesn’t change the fact that I want appropriate expertise in place. If that is not policy input, what is it?
